One Canadian company has stepped into the future a little faster than the rest of us.

In the November 14 issue of Time, an employee at Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is described as completing a training drill, opening and closing valves via computer -- using only the power of his mind to do so.

Its most commonplace use, however, is BodyWave's ability to help children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. Freer formed a company called Play Attention to put this technology to work, designing games and activities that help children see when they're focusing and when they are not -- the games literally will not work unless they put their minds to it. It also is geared toward adults who wants to participate in 'brain training' games to assist with concentration and even memory.
